My health food store trip...

Posted on 03/15/2011 12:42:13 PM PDT by djf

Just got back from the health food store.

I went to get some Xylitol. Xylitol is a natural sugar that helps with sinus infections, that sort of thing.

Phone was ringing off the hook. Gal behind the counter was automatically answering "Sorry, we're sold out"...

Anybody guess what people were wanting?

Here is a source for the reducing of the potassium iodine form the public due to meth fears. This is from 2008!!

http://www.iarx.org/HeadlineNewsArticleDetails.aspx?id=aa0de17d-674d-4f88-8b03-371663a42c60

“IPA has recently been notified that law enforcement is seeking the help of pharmacies and pharmacists in identifying purchasers of large quantities of iodine. There have been reports of local law enforcement mostly in southeast Iowa requesting iodine tincture to be moved behind-the-counter as well as for purchase records of sales to help deter illegal use of iodine tincture in methamphetamine production.”

2008!!!!

No problem.

Everyone remember, between five or six nuclear powers in the world, there have been exploded over 2000 nuclear weapons, mostly above ground, since 1945.

Yes, there is evidence that people in Idaho, Utah, Montana, Canada and New York MAY have slow-evolving-hard-to-pin-down consequences of the Nevada above-ground tests. MAY have, hard to pin down.

People are not going to drop dead in California from the Japan reactor issue.

IIRC some people have suggested using betadine. It’s that orange colored iodine solution they use in the OR.

You can buy it in the drug store and paint it on your belly. I don’t remember the details but I’m sure they’re available on the net.

I hope so. This needs more than a few internet stories being passed around. But it does seem odd that everywhere seems to be out already. That was very fast.

from Alex Jones:

InfoWars: Infowars has some of the only Potassium Iodide in the U.S. by Infowars.com, March 17, 2011

And, from NaturalNews, A protocol for radiation treatment using natural medicines:

“...now they use bromide which tricks the thyroid...”

There was a freeper on another thread talking about this. And that the “allergic reaction” to iodine that some folks have is really a detox of the bromide. Not meaning to dismiss the seriousness of the reaction - but just the source of it. Which I wonder, if one can wean themselves off the bromide, then their reaction will go away.

Another freeper mentioned that the medical iodine used in tracer tests which some are allergic too (such as my wife), is not the same as taking iodine in your food. That seems to be confirmed, as my wife doesn’t have reaction to seafood, etc.

I wouldn’t worry about Japan, but when thinks calm down will probably buy a bottle of iodide or iodine. (One is slightly better than the other). Just on the off-chance of a dirty bomb or accident in our area. The nearest nuke plant is 200 miles downwind so that is not a concern.

At Chernobyl, the thyroid problem in children was the main thing they saw, and only within a few hundred miles of the site.

“The dose required to truly protect a person from radiation (at least in the thyroid area) is 130-mg....”

True, However, I read somewhere that children near Chernobyl did okay on quite a bit less. IIRC it was something like 35 mg???? (I wonder if they were rationing it?). But still would need supplements.

Ran to the healthfood store over lunch for my vitamins. I asked about the Potassium Iodide. She said they were all out and were only allowed a limited supply...that everyone's out.

Interesting.
